According to reports, the UK-based railcar system Merseyrail has suffered a cyberattack. Questions began to surface after BleepingComputer, different UK media outlets, and employees of the rail service received a strange email from the Director of Merseyrail Andy Heath on April 18th. The email contents stated that the outage the company had the week prior was instead a ransomware attack committed by the Lockbit Ransomware operators and that they obtained data from Merseyrail. The email also includes a link to a picture that apparently shows employee information that was gathered during the attack. At this time, a legitimate statement had not yet been made by Merseyrail until the company simply stated, “It would be inappropriate for us to comment further while the investigation is underway.” All relevant authorities have been notified.
